Liquid–liquid phase separation during amphiphilic self-assembly

Liquid–liquid phase separation during amphiphilic self-assembly, Published online: 18 February 2019; doi:10.1038/s41557-019-0210-4

Amphiphilic self-assembly is ubiquitous both in nature and synthetic systems, yet the underlying mechanisms governing the transition from molecules to assemblies have not yet been fully resolved. Now, the role of liquid–liquid phase separation prior to the assembly process has been explored through the detailed analysis of a model block-copolymer system.
